I woke up to a sea if whiteness, and it snowed [...]]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/yosemite-before-dawn/feed/ 0 http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/heart-of-the-mountain/ http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/heart-of-the-mountain/#comments Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:45:28 +0000 Jennifer http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/?p=907 “Love cannot fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone, Yet many a man is making friends with death, From lack of love alone.” –Edna St. Vincent Millay I was blown away when I saw this heart on El Capitan last February when I was there.  I thought [...]]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/heart-of-the-mountain/feed/ 1 http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/continuous-green/ http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/continuous-green/#comments Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:40:47 +0000 Jennifer http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/?p=836 Ok, I know it’s still (some version of) winter here in the US, but I felt like sharing a little green on this winter’s day.  This photo is from Yosemite Valley last May. I seem to be in quoting mode this week.  Here’s a poem for you. “First, forget what time it is for an [...]]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/continuous-green/feed/ 0 http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/los-angeles-at-sunset/ http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/los-angeles-at-sunset/#comments Sun, 08 Feb 2009 18:37:22 +0000 Jennifer http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/?p=810 This is a view from a spot on the LA Crest Highway 2. I’m listening to this song this morning.  It’s by Jackson Browne.  Say what you will about him – I can’t help it – I like his music.  Mostly the really old stuff.  It takes me back to the days when I first [...]]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/los-angeles-at-sunset/feed/ 2 http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/oak-trees-68/ http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/oak-trees-68/#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:50:38 +0000 Jennifer http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/?p=442 Maybe this is total overload on these oak trees at sunset, but I’m trying to decide which one I like the best.  Any input would be appreciated.  I have one more that I will probably post tomorrow.  This one is a little later still – the colors are still changing – fading.]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/oak-trees-68/feed/ 12 http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/oak-trees-63/ http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/oak-trees-63/#comments Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:21:54 +0000 Jennifer http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/?p=423 This is another from the series of photos I made last week up north of Redding.  This one is a little later after sunset than the previous image – hence the color difference in the sky.  These colors are reproduced as faithfully as possible; they may look un-real, but they are just as I experienced [...]]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/oak-trees-63/feed/ 0 http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/winter-day-in-the-park/ http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/winter-day-in-the-park/#comments Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:00:56 +0000 Jennifer http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/?p=372 ]]> http://jenniferdurham.com/lightcomingback/2009/winter-day-in-the-park/feed/ 0
